Toki

Description
Stone adze. Rounded at poll end. Blade edge is roughly straight but one corner is lower than the other so it is on a slight angle. Some areas of the surface are still polished but the majority is pitted and chipped. The adze is badly chipped along the edges on the same side as the accession number. The chips are roughly triangular shaped. Each of the chips are approximately one third the width of the adze. The corners are rounded.
